Brazil's former President Bolsonaro found guilty of plotting coup
The former President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, has been found guilty of plotting a military coup.
Brazil's Supreme Court reached the majority of three votes needed to find him guilty. One judge voted to acquit him, and another is yet to vote.
The 70-year-old has been convicted of leading a conspiracy aimed at keeping him in power after he lost the 2022 election to his left-wing rival, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
While the plot failed to enlist enough support from the military to go ahead, it did culminate in the storming of government buildings by Bolsonaro's supporters on 8 January 2023, the justices found.
